简介:我在C#中编写高性能代码。是的,我知道C ++会给我更好的优化,但我仍然选择使用C#。我不想辩论这个选择。相反,我想听听那些像我一样试图在.NET Framework上编写高性能代码的人。
问题:
我想我知道: 原始的.NET JIT编译器不会内联涉及结构的任何内容。奇怪的给定结构只应该用于需要像内置函数那样优化的小值类型的情况,但是确实如此。幸运的是,在.NET 3.5SP1和.NET 2.0SP2中,他们对JIT Optimizer进行了一些改进,包括对内联的改进,特别是对于结构。 (我猜他们这样做是因为否则他们引入的新的Complex结构会表现得非常糟糕......所以复杂团队可能会对JIT Optimizer团队产生影响。)因此,.NET 3.5 SP1之前的任何文档都可能是与这个问题不太相关。
我的测试结果显示: 我已经通过检查C:\ Windows \ Microsoft.NET \ Framework \ v2.0.50727 \ mscorwks.dll文件是否具有版本> = 3053来验证我有更新的JIT优化器,因此应该对JIT优化器进行那些改进。然而,即便如此,我的时间和反汇编的显示都是:
用于传递带有两个双精度的结构的JIT生成的代码远没有直接传递两个双精度的代码有效。
对于struct方法,JIT生成的代码传递'this'远比将struct作为参数传递更有效。
如果你传递两个双打而不是传递一个带有两个双精度的结构,JIT仍会更好地内联,即使是由于明显处于循环中的乘数也是如此。
时间: 实际上,在查看反汇编时,我意识到循环中的大部分时间只是从List中访问测试数据。如果分解循环的开销代码和访问数据,则进行相同调用的四种方法之间的差异会大不相同。对于PlusEqual(double,double)而不是PlusEqual(Element),我可以获得5倍到20倍的加速比。使用PlusEqual(double,double)代替运算符+ = 10x到40x。哇。悲伤。
这是一组时间:
Populating List<Element> took 320ms.
The PlusEqual() method took 105ms.
The 'same' += operator took 131ms.
The 'same' -= operator took 139ms.
The PlusEqual(double, double) method took 68ms.
The do nothing loop took 66ms.
The ratio of operator with constructor to method is 124%.
The ratio of operator without constructor to method is 132%.
The ratio of PlusEqual(double,double) to PlusEqual(Element) is 64%.
If we remove the overhead time for the loop accessing the elements from the List...
The ratio of operator with constructor to method is 166%.
The ratio of operator without constructor to method is 187%.
The ratio of PlusEqual(double,double) to PlusEqual(Element) is 5%.
守则:

我得到了非常不同的结果,更不那么戏剧化了。但是没有使用测试运行器,我将代码粘贴到控制台模式应用程序中。在32位模式下,5%的结果是~87%,在我尝试时,在64位模式下的结果是~100%。
对齐对于双精度至关重要,.NET运行时只能承诺在32位机器上对齐4。在我看来,测试运行器正在启动测试方法,其堆栈地址与4而不是8对齐。当双重超过缓存行边界时,错位惩罚会变得非常大。

除了在其他答案中提到的JIT编译器差异之外,struct方法调用和struct运算符之间的另一个区别是struct方法调用将this
作为ref
参数传递(并且可能是写入接受其他参数作为ref
参数),而struct运算符将按值传递所有操作数。无论结构有多大,将任何大小的结构作为ref
参数传递的成本都是固定的,而传递较大结构的成本与结构大小成正比。使用大型结构(甚至数百个字节)没有任何问题,如果可以避免不必要地复制它们;虽然使用方法时通常可以防止不必要的副本,但在使用运算符时无法阻止它们。
